Grandma May looked at Evan in silence.
After all the words were spoken, Evan also said whatever came to his mind. He said everything he could and couldn’t say.
He went back to his old house today just to show off to his grandma that he could no longer marry the wife that his grandma had chosen for him like his brothers did.
He had someone he wanted to pursue.
After he finished speaking, Grandma May sighed and said, “You are right. Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. Abby probably doesn’t have deep feelings for you now. You should tell her clearly and let her give up.”
After a pause, Grandma May asked again, “Evan, do you really not consider Abby? Don’t you believe Grandma’s vision?”
Evan said seriously, “Grandma, I believe in your vision. You have good vision. Abby is indeed a very good girl, but I don’t have that kind of male-female relationship with her. Even if I marry her, we will treat each other with respect. But there will be no true love between husband and wife. She is a smart person, and she definitely doesn’t want such a day.
Grandma, love is love. If you don’t love, you don’t love. There is no reason.”
Grandma May hummed, “Okay, since you said that, I will no longer care about your emotional affairs. You can do whatever you want. You can pursue whoever you like, but there is a bottom line. You will marry a woman who must be of good character. Even if you can’t be good, you can’t be too bad. At least you have to be passable. Don’t ruin my York family’s reputation. If your character is too bad and you insist on marrying her, that’s okay. I won’t do anything to beat the Mandarin ducks. At most, I will sever the relationship with you and drive you out of the York family. You will have nothing to do with our York family in the future.”
Her husband would not allow a speck of mouse droppings to ruin a pot of porridge.
Several generations of the York family, as well as decades of hard work by her and her husband, contributed to the York family’s good reputation.
It can’t be ruined by Evan.
Evan looked serious and assured. “Grandma, I know that if her character is bad, I will not marry her, no matter how much I like her.” I still know how to marry a virtuous wife.”

The readers' comments on the novel: Married at First Sight (Serenity and Zachary)
Please use the English names as it is difficult to read and connect....
I am very greatful of your hard work in translating the novel in English, is there any chance you could use the character’s name in English please, it’s hard to follow the story with Chinese names. Thanks...
Please use correct names and watch the repeating of pages....
Thank you for the story, its going on well, however the changing of names somehow makes it difficult to follow. Even learning the new ones that you have tried to match, it is extremely difficult to follow and enjoy the drama while trying to go back to rechecking who we are talking about. The title is still Married at first sight (Serenity and Zachary) but they no longer exist in the whole picture. You created a dynamic community which I am sure everyone felt they lived and travelled with. We appreciate all the effort and your insight. I am very grateful for this novel is very captivating....
Please continue using Zachary,. Serenity,Duncan, Liberty etc . You jumped 30 updates and changed names where I'm unable to follow the story and losing interest. This is a great disservice to your loyal readers....
Changing names ruins the whole story. Whoever heard of such a thing....
Please use the old names, the new names are too confusing...
